Everyone is just waiting to die. Its a fact of life. Try to think of it as a glass half full and work to try and fill it up. Find things that are motivational for you, things that get you excited. Idle hands are the devil's workshop.

Go out and try and make your days more purposeful. You don't have to walk around like a zombie, moving through life. Go fucc some shyt up and live. It's easier said then done, but you just have to get up off your ass and force the change.

Being idle and lazy is easy. Make yourself uncomfortable 🙂

existential crisis... always fun. do things that bring natural, feel-good joy - care for others/animals, join a cause, get involved in something bigger than yourself or chase your passions. we're all here against our own free will, thumpin' around until our expiration date hun... you have to suck it up and make it work. and it will, if you try.


Great advice👍

Helping others can help a lot ...

I don't know if life is anything more than waiting to die, but goalseeking and doing things you enjoy should make your time worthwhile. Spirituality might give your life meaning as well if you're open to it.


I am open to spirituality but i am not finding answers....

so far all i have is that we are born with a certain set of impressions and karmic accounts that need to be settled in this lifetime. (these accounts can be seen though astrology which can help guide us.)

and it's not so satisfying for me at the moment.

do you have any leads for me?

Ive been through this before, but once I started to go out and explore different things, the feeling went away. Maybe create a bucket list, try things you haven’t before or do things that make you feel happy and in the moment.

Perhaps have just put yourself in a mindset you can’t get out of. You could try meditation/mindfulness, be around people that make you smile and I find listening to music really helps you live in the moment.

Coming from someone who suffers from ptsd and previously diagnosed with depression, you don’t sound as if you are depressed but if you start to notice other symptoms then seek help before it gets worse. Wishing you the best ❤️ message if you ever need to talk.


thank you....currently i can't think of any motivations...everything is just so disappointing.

maybe i need to join a class or something.

thank you for your support.

why are we alive, the question that defines mankind, like evolution cared for something so petty 😆

when you see animals you notice how selfish they can be, maybe you are alive to enjoy it while it last? if you already realize we all are going to die in the end, it sounds irrelevant to just wait for it, gotta be selfish with the life we have, just enjoy the bland vanity of it.

I always feel it have some beauty to it, is so pointless is actually amusing.

I don't know why it's so difficult for me to understand this. I should be able to live for "me" right? not some grand purpose.....but for some reason the grand purpose theory just provides more solace.

Of course you feel that way. We don't even know how many dimensions there are or if other universes exist.

And in mathematics we simply don't have an impact.



I believe it's possible that one day we figure out how the universe works. We fit in there somewhere in the scale.

( As we atoms and matter from the stars )



As Sagan would say, "we are a way for the cosmos to know itself."

I also acknowledge the spirituality of astrology and how the Nodes and other points can guide us to fulfillment. To get specific about another source of hope, I follow alternative moral guidelines than what's ingrained in us through Christianity/empathy-centric religions, starting with letting go of false guilt. can pm you more if you have pms open

I think they are open...please send anything and everything that might be helpful.

do you really think astrology can help us with our path?

which type of astrology resonates with you the most?

Do you have a vague idea what you want from life?

Life will always be meaningless until you fill it with purpose and meaning.

Said meaning can reach from family to pure simply hedonism as long as it statisfies you.


That's the proble....i always had an idea or goal in mind....whether it was career wise or love wise...some things i got...some things i didn't....

but the one thing that i learnt was that none of it meant anything....it ceased to give me any grounding....

nothing is making sense anymore.

Hi everyone...i don't think i'm depressed or anything. I just don't understand why i am alive.

i constantly feel like i am in a waiting room, instead of waiting for a train i am just waiting to die.

there doesn't seem to be a point to anything.

does anyone have any suggestions or insights?

Weak links die out first. If that’s not motivating enough idk what is.
